Permanent People’s Tribunal on Agrochemical TNCs

Rising from the need for a global system of corporate accountability, PANAP helped organise the historic Permanent People’s Tribunal (PPT) on Agrochemical Corporations in Bangalore, India. Poisoning survivors and technical experts testified in front of an eminent international jury, which were also provided extensive documentation by PAN on the “crimes” of  the top six agrochemical TNCs throughout the past several decades. The jury found Monsanto, Bayer, Syngenta, Dow, Dupont and BASF guilty for various human rights violations. The PPT marked the beginning of PANAP’s more active use of human rights instruments to highlight pesticide impacts.
